The NSL version of the software may not be accessed or used over a network or remotely.

CPU-Locked Single User License (CPU)

You can install the COMSOL Multiphysics software on one designated computer and different users can take turns using the software on that computer, one session at a time. The CPU version of the software may not be accessed or used over a network or remotely.

Floating Network License (FNL)

Licensed per concurrent user, you can install the software on as many machines on your network as you want for use within your country or territory. COMSOL Multiphysics software can run on local computers with the network being used only for license authentication, or alternatively you can run the software on a remote computer over your network. Cluster and cloud computing is supported on Windows® and Linux® platforms. See System Requirements for detailed requirements.
